Plans for Balsams Grand Resort outlined BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Demolition and renovation of the Balsams Grand Hotel will get underway this spring with the goal of reopening the grand resort in the summer of 2013. Dan Hebert, one of the co-owners of Balsams View LLC, gave an overview of plans

for the facility at last week’s meeting of the Coos Planning Board. Hebert said abatement of hazardous materials in the hotel is scheduled to get underway May 1 and take about three weeks. That will be followed by extensive demolition totaling about 400,000 square feet including the former Tillotson rubber

factor, boiler, and the wind whistle house. The demolition is expected to take two months. The remaining 130,000 square feet of space will be completely renovated and Hebert said about 80,000 square feet of new space will be added. When complete, see BALSAMS page 15

Jackie Cilley comes home with visit to Berlin

BERLIN -- Jackie Cilley, candidate for Governor, will be back in Berlin on Friday, April 20, connecting with old friends, family, business leaders, workers, and meeting with voters. Never far from her mind, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jackie Cilley’s beginnings in Berlin form the foundation of every talk she gives and, indeed, shapes her views on policy for our Granite State. With a full slate of activities that range from breakfast at Tea Birds Cafe to an evening rally at Heritage Park, Jackie will be listening to voters and sharing her ideas for moving our state and, especially the North Country, forward. After

breakfast, Jackie will be touring area businesses and meeting with people in downtown Berlin. She will also spend time at the community college, Berlin’s High School, and the local Health and Human Services office along with visits to one of the new homes fueled by wood pellet boilers through the Better Buildings program. To finish out the day, Jackie’s campaign invites the entire community to join friends and supporters for a get-together pot luck at Heritage Park from 5 – 7:30 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by Claude Pigeon and his band. The public is invited. see CILLEY page 6

Jasper committee discusses natural resources inventory BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

Poof Tardiff’s friend, classmate and a co-captain of the 1963 BHS Hockey team, Sam Paquette recently sent him a game puck that was used when Berlin High won its first NHIAA State Hockey Championship. He found it while cleaning his house in Concord several weeks ago.Tardiff suggested that they donate it to the Moffet House Museum and he agreed. The game was played over forty-nine years ago to a capacity crowd where many spectators had to be turned away.The date was February 19, 1963 and the game was against the great intra city rival Notre Dame Rams, who had been state champions every year since 1947. Tardiff invites any member of both teams and or spectators that watched this game to come and view the short presentation at the Moffett House on High Street at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 21, 2012 and check out this historical residence in Berlin.Most people will remember all of these great games that took place in our old Notre Dame Arena, as they were the talk of the town and state every time they took place.

BERLIN – Members of the Mount Jasper subcommittee met last week to discuss a natural resources inventory of the 203acre city-owned parcel. The city issued a request for proposals from firms interested in performing a natural resources inventory of the property. The inventory is a first step in the development of a management plan for the property. Subcommittee Chair Sally Manikian said the city received 101 Main Street Gorham, NH 603-466-5811

several proposals. After review, she said the subcommittee decided to meet with John Severance and Elise Lawson, owners of Watershed to Wildlife, Inc., a natural resources and land use planning firm out of Whitefield last Thursday. Originally, the subcommittee planned to walk part of the property with Severance and Lawson but an unexpected downpour forced the meeting into the high school cafeteria. Severance and Lawson spoke about other projects the firm has see JASPER page 11

Dick Clark dies at 82 (NY Times) — Dick Clark, the perpetually youthfullooking television host whose long-running daytime songand-dance fest, “American Bandstand,” did as much as anyone or anything to advance the influence of teenagers and rock ’n’ roll on American culture, died Wednesday. He was 82. The cause was a heart attack, a spokesman, Paul Shefrin, said in a statement. Clark had a well-publicized stroke in December 2004, shortly before he was to appear on the annual televised New Year’s Eve party he had produced and hosted every year since 1973. He subsequently returned for brief appearances on the show, most recently this past New Year’s Eve. With the boyish good looks of a bound-for-success junior executive and a ubiquitous oncamera presence, Clark was among the most recognizable faces in the world, even if what he was most famous for — spinning records and jabbering with teeny-boppers — was on the insubstantial side. In addition to “American Bandstand” and “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” Clark hosted innumerable awards shows, comedy specials, series based on TV outtakes and the game show $10,000 Pyramid” (which lasted long enough to see the stakes ratcheted up to $100,000). He also made guest appearances on dramatic and comedy series, usually playing himself.

Where clean energy abounds, a push to ship coal

BOARDMAN, Ore. (NY Times) — A new link in the world’s future energy supply could soon be built here on the Columbia River, and it would have nothing to do with the vast acres of wind turbines or the mammoth hydroelectric dams that give this region’s power sources one of the cleanest carbon footprints in the nation. Instead, Boardman is pursuing one of the oldest and dirtiest of fossil fuels: coal. The question is not whether to use it to produce new energy but whether to make what

some say would be tainted new profits. Even as coal-fired power plants are being phased out in Oregon and Washington, Boardman, an agribusiness outpost across the river from vineyards owned by the Columbia Crest winery and where the Department of Energy recently awarded $25 million to an innovative biofuel producer, is among at least half a dozen ports in the region weighing whether to ship millions of tons of coal to Asia from the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana. If all of the projects were built, as much as 150 million

tons of coal per year could be exported from the Northwest, nearly 50 percent more than the nation’s entire coal export output last year. “There’s no doubt the nation’s moving in a direction of renewable energy,” said Greg Smith, who runs an economic development firm near here that has been working for Ambre Energy, the Australian-owned coal company behind the Boardman project and one in Washington. “But until the world fully develops those alternatives we still have to have economic development.”

U.S., NATO finalize pacts Judge in Florida shooting quits over potential conflict on ending Afghan war BRUSSELS (NY Times) — The United States and its allies in NATO finalized agreements on Wednesday to wind down the war in Afghanistan, paving the way for President Obama to announce at a NATO summit meeting in Chicago next month that the unpopular, nearly 11-year-old conflict is close to an end. But many of the most critical details remained unresolved, chief among them who would pay billions of dollars a year to support the Afghan security forces.

After a day of meetings at NATO headquarters here, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said the allies had formalized three crucial commitments: to increasingly move the Afghans into a lead combat role; to keep some international troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014, the year all American forces are supposed to be home; and to pay billions of dollars a year to support the Afghan security forces.

(NY Times) — The Florida judge overseeing the murder case against George Zimmerman stepped aside on Wednesday at the request of Zimmerman’s lawyer, who had questioned whether her assignment could create a potential conflict of interest. The judge, Jessica J. Recksiedler, of Seminole County Circuit Court, signed an order removing herself from the case. In a filing on Monday, Zimmerman’s lawyer, Mark O’Mara, outlined a potential conflict because a law partner of the judge’s husband is under contract to provide analysis about the case to CNN. The judge disclosed last week that Zimmerman had approached the lawyer, Mark NeJame, about taking on his case. NeJame declined and recommended O’Mara. Judge Recksiedler will be replaced by Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr., 58, who was first elected to the court in 1996.

Senate sends online driver ed bill to study CONCORD — The New Hampshire Senate has voted to study whether to allow teen drivers to take online driver education courses instead of attending driving school to get their driver’s licenses. The Senate voted 17-7 Wednesday against letting teens under age 18 complete online courses and get-

ting a total of 60 hours of supervised behind-thewheel training to get the licenses. Parents would have had to provide 20 of the 60 hours of training in the vehicle. Parents also would have had to complete an online course. Teens who failed their written or road test and

wanted to try again before turning 18 would have had to pass a driving school course. Supporters said the online course is less expensive than driving school, but opponents wanted its safety risks studied. —Courtesy of WMUR

Police chief killed in the line of fire given posthumous award GREENLAND — A police chief killed in the line of duty has been posthumously awarded for his bravery. In a letter to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, Chief Tara Laurent recommended that Chief Michael Maloney be awarded the agency’s Medal of Honor for sacrificing himself to protect other officers who came under fire in a drug raid last week. “Chief Maloney’s heroism under lifethreatening circumstances embodies courage, strength and selflessness that are beyond measure,” Laurent wrote.

The organization approved the recommendation and granted the award. Maloney was shot and killed April 12 when he and other officers were trying to serve a search warrant at a Greenland home. Laurent’s letter provides more information about the shooting, saying Maloney dragged the first officer shot to safety. “Detective Scott Kukesh was the first officer wounded during the initial volley of fire,” Laurent wrote. “As all of the officers retreated for cover, Chief Maloney dragged Det. Kukesh to safety, placed him in a police cruiser,

and had him taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital.” Laurent said Maloney then returned to the gunbattle to defend other wounded officers so they could evacuate. At that time, he was shot in the head and killed. Maloney was planning to retire on April 20. In addition to Maloney, four officers were wounded in the gun battle. Two were treated and released, and two, including Kukesh, were hospitalized with gunshot wounds to the chest. They have since been upgraded to

good condition and moved out of the intensive care unit. A wake is being held Wednesday for Maloney at Remick & Gendron Funeral Home at 811 Lafayette Road in Hampton. Law enforcement officers are invited from 1 to 3 p.m., and the public is invited from 5 to 9 p.m. A law enforcement memorial service is planned for noon Thursday at the Winnacunnet High School athletic field. A procession from the funeral home to the athletic field begins at 10:30 a.m. —Courtesy of WMUR

Hoops For Heart event at GM/HS a success To the editor: On Friday, March 9, students and teachers from Gorham Middle High School helped fight heart disease by fund raising and participating for the event, “Hoops for Heart”. The event is a 3 on 3 basketball tournament that raises funds to help support the American Heart Association. “Hoops for Heart” is an event to promote physical fitness and heart health through playing basketball. The event was co-sponsored by the American Heart Association, the American Alliance for Health, and Subway. This

year’s event was a huge success thanks to the generosity of our community. The event raised a total amount of $648.75 to be donated to the American Heart Association’s research to fight against heart disease. We just want to give thanks to all those who made contributions. Your generosity and kindness is greatly appreciated. We also want to give thanks to all that participated. Everyone did a great job representing Gorham Middle High School.

What happened to the street sweepers? To the editor: I live in Berlin and am wondering what happened to the street sweeper. After the winter it is time to pick up the sand. It can’t be due to a lack of money because it wasn’t a bad winter snow wise.

There should be enough money to at least run the sweeper once on upper High Street. With all the wind we have been having it is hard on people with lung problems. Bill Dwyer Berlin

Once upon a Berlin Time

1965 II

Hello fellow Berlinites. My story of “Phila May” two weeks ago generated some phone calls. One of these was from Dan Bennett of Milan who had a treasure of history up in his attic about this Milan star. After meeting with me and members of the Moffett House Museum, Mr. Bennett decided to loan this material so that copies could be made of this lady’s rich history and he would eventually get it all back. Once some of the main articles are copied and put together, this museum plans to have a great display of Phila May. I must say that she was much more famous than I ever thought and the towns of Milan and Dummer must see some of this material to fully comprehend her fame. She is certainly the most talented and famous lady to have ever come from this area. A “Phila May Day” might even be in order. As I continue with the year 1965, a gala affair was about to take place in Berlin on February 26, 27 and 28. The big event of course was the National Ski Jumping Championship which took place at the Nansen Ski Club’s 80 meter jump and was to be broadcast on ABC Wide World of Sports. The distance from take off to the foot of the hill was just over 100 yards, of which 181 feet was a steel tower. By 1965, the longest jump that had ever been made off this magnificent structure was 266 feet and Jay Martin going that far through the air without a parachute was something to witness. During this year, the top skiers in the United States, Canada and Europe competed and two jumping events took place, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Two other things in conjunction with this Berlin winter carnival also took place. They were the New Hampshire Interscholastic Hockey Tournament at the Notre Dame Arena and a huge coronation ball at Le Chalet. With everything in place, 100 jumpers were registered to compete, with many of them coming a few days earlier to practice. That in itself was fun to watch. On the ice, the favorite to win the hockey title was Berlin High, but as usual back then, it was not going to be a cake walk. So on this special weekend in February 1965, the city of Berlin’s population swelled considerably, as winter sports events drew thousands of spectators. On Sunday, February 28, modest and unassuming Dave Hicks of Duluth, Minnesota became the 1965 United States Ski Jumping Champion when he compiled 225.4 points This 19 year old superstar on skis traveled 249 feet on his first leap, holding it with beautiful form. The he completed another jump of 256 feet with great form again. His last jump was a record tying 266 feet, but he fell at the end to the disappointment of onlookers. Second place was awarded to Jay Martin of the University of Wyoming. Although his jumps did not produce as many points as Hicks, Martin’s last jump set a new hill record

Nansen Ski Jump

of 268 feet, as he earned it without a fall. There were also local names that jumped in both the junior and senior events, to include Earl Chamberlin, Eddie Oleson, Bob Lamontagne and Larry Hodgman. All of this was done in front of a crowd estimated to be between ten to fifteen thousand people. Meanwhile, at the Notre Dame Arena, Berlin’s two schoolboy hockey teams were in action at the state tournament. Berlin High was the defending state champion with two straight titles, but this was about to change. For the first time in history, the hockey tournament had a referee-in-chief who was in charge of all the tournament officials. His name was George Renault, a one time Maroons player and longtime official. He and five others were selected on the recommendation of the Northern New England Chapter of the American Ice Hockey Officials Association. There were no advance ticket sales for the Friday night game, as out of town spectators also needed a chance to get into the games. Tickets for the finals went on sale the next day from 2 to 5 p.m. and then at the door. As was the case in years past, the two finalists in this tournament were Notre Dame High and Berlin High, with Concord and Hanover being eliminated the night before. Playing before a complete sellout crowd at the Notre Dame Arena on Saturday night February 27, the Rams of Notre Dame took back their reign of the New Hampshire schoolboy hockey crown with a 3-1 vic- Co-captains Ron Vallee (left) and Ray tory over the Murphy (right) receiving the chamBHS Moun- pionship trophy from NHIAA Director Ernest Herrman. taineers.

Gorham Community Learning Center celebrates Week of the Young Child

Rams who played sensational in the nets. The papers said that this young man had a classic performance turning back 32 shots, with many of his saves being of the spectacular variety. Berlin High made charge after charge on the NDHS net, but it wasn’t until the final minutes of the game that they were able to get one by the flashy goal tender. Some of the top performers for the winning team also included Rejean Jalbert, Raymond Nolin, Don Piper and Raymond Murphy. The most valuable player of the tournament was Ray Murphy. These great rivalries are still talked about today. The picture that accompanies this story shows Co-captains Ron Vallee (left) and Ray Murphy (right) receiving the championship trophy from NHIAA Director Ernest Herrman.In March of 1965, the Presidential Range took the lives of two young men. They were Daniel Doody 31 of North Branford, Connecticut and Craig Merrihue 32 of Cambridge, Massachusetts. News reports stated that men who knew the mountains believed that rotten snow was the cause of the fall that killed these two climbers in Huntington Ravine. As in many cases on these mountains, both of these hikers were considered experts on rocks and ice, with Doody being a member of the first American expedition to climb to the summit of Mt.

Mountain Club, to GCLC. She will read one of her favorite bear stories to the children and then we will hold a teddy bear tea party. On Friday the Learning Center will hold its fourth annual wagon parade. The public is invited to join them for the parade. Strollers, wagons and riding toys operated by an adult are welcomed to be part of this parade. Meet at the Learning Center at 123 Main Street in Gorham by 10 a.m. During the entire week the center will also be holding a children’s art show in the foyer of the Family Resource Center. The public is invited to view this art show by using the main entrance off of School Street. Early childhood education is vital to a community. Children need a strong early learning foundation to succeed in school, and to go on to succeed in life. The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize the importance of early learning and to celebrate the teachers and policies that bring early childhood education to the children of our community. Everyone can show their support for early learning by promoting early literacy programs, thanking all those who care for our children and by working to ensure that our public policies support early learning for all young children. Everest led by mountaineer legend Jim Whittaker in the spring of 1963. Both he and Merrihue had climbed on many peaks throughout the earth and were practicing for a climbing mission in the Himalayas when they fell to their deaths on New Hampshire’s treacherous mountains. The two men apparently tumbled about 700 feet straight down the gully and then crashed down the rock strewn slope of the bowl for another 500 feet. Doody was dead when found, but Merrihue was still clinging on to his life. The rescue party was met by Doctor Appleton of Gorham on the trail and the doctor applied a number of emergency measures to keep the hiker alive, but to no avail. This was the fourth death in one year for Huntington Ravine, as two men had perished in an avalanche during April of 1964. I will continue with the year 1965 in my next writing. A reminder that the “Game Puck” for the first BHS state hockey championship will be presented to the Moffett House Museum on April 21 at 2 p.m. Every one is invited to come and see this short presentation and view this great Berlin museum.

Mango Groove Steel Drum Band

notes, pan has developed into the exciting family of instruments it is today. The only family of acoustic instruments developed in the twentieth century, the pan has its roots deep in West African Drumming traditions and its branches reach out to all genres of music today. Rollnick states,” The magic of turning industrial steel containers into vessels producing golden tones—which lighten the heart and make your feet want to dance---is true alchemy!” Mango Groove was formed as a touring ensemble in 1994 and plays throughout New England. Eric Rollnick is on the faculty of Mountain Top Music Center in Conway, where he directs the school’s steel band “Steel Dreams”. He also directs a community steel band in Pembroke, and is the caller and hammer dulcimer player for the contra dance see MANGO GROOVE page 18

Main Street’s love child/bad boy is now forty years old or more (it was the 60s, who remembers?) Way back then, we carried bell-bottoms, beads, tie-dyed shirts, incense, posters, waterbeds and unmentionables, the public was unsure if we were a cultural threat or simply amusing. We’ve aged, yet remain unmoderated, unpredictable and unrepentant in our bold selections of gifts. The lis is long. Good things are: Silver,

jewelry, home decore, candles and oils, fairies, gargoyles and dragons, ethnic, stained glass, tapestries, art prints, men stuff and lingerie, women’s home companions and unmentionables! Unusual varied gifts to please a nun to a pole dancer, a stoner to a banker! In, short, we’re a fun shop with a flavor of a country store on acid. And the public seems to like it! 752-7400.

Porky Gulch Bike Shop to open

GORHAM -- Porky Gulch Bike Shop is planning a Friday, April 20, preopening Ballyhoo of Bikes. Owned by Benjamin Schott, Lincoln Robertson and Heather Piche, it will be a community based bicycle shop offering bicycle repairs, rentals and educational programs in an active community. The shop is located at 212 Main Street, right next to the White Mountain Café, offering scenic and adventurous tours, family tours and “townie” bike rentals. Benjamin Schott has been an avid biker and a founding member of the local bicycle club, Coos Cycling Club (CCC). He is entrenched in the local bike and ski community (serving on the board of directors of Nansen Ski Club), and gets more excited every year to watch these industries grow in the area. He is a knowledgeable bicycle mechanic with a real vision for bicy-

cling in Coos County. When he found the perfect location for his dream shop was available, he approached Heather and Lincoln with his idea and the possibility of a partnership. Ben has always wanted to be a business owner, making his way using his hands. In the last few years, he has fallen in love with every aspect of bicycles and working on them. Ben brings to the team his mechanical skills, past management experience, his involvement and advocacy of the local bike and ski community and a strong desire to own a successful bicycle repair shop. He has a passion for working in a mechanical setting. Heather Piche and Lincoln Robertson are already successful business owners, having owned and operated North Woods Rafting (a NH Grand see PORKY GULCH page 11

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 19, 2012— Page 11

Adventure), the first rafting company ever to operate commercial trips in New Hampshire, since 2002. Lincoln has a passion for sharing his love of the outdoors with people. He has been working in the field of outdoor recreation for most of his life (during his time off from being a math professor at the White Mountains Community College) including running bicycle tours for NOVA Guides in Colorado and working at the bike shop at the Balsams Grand Resort. He’s excited to be getting back into bicycling on a commercial level. Heather is a well-networked business owner, having served in the past as vice-president of the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. She has established unmatched relationships with clients and colleagues in her capacity as owner of North Woods Rafting and hopes to work with the community to get everyone excited about offering bicycling in Coos County to visitors and locals alike. "The shop will aspire to be the welcoming, friendly neighborhood bike shop," they said. "Our bicycle rentals and organized tours will also draw tourists to experience the fantastic bicycle trails in the Androscoggin Valley." Bicycle and trailer rentals will also be available for Appalachian Trail hikers or residents who need a

worked on including the Randolph Town Forest as well as natural resources mapping for the city. Subcommittee member Lucien Langlois asked the pair how the would approach the Mount Jasper project. Lawson said they would start by discussing the subcommittee’s goals and looking at the mapping already done. From there, she said they would inventory the various habitats and collect data to provide the subcommittee with a good sense of what exists on the property. Lawson said the firm would come up with preliminary recommendations on how to manage the property to achieve the goals set by the subcommittee. Based on the involvement and feedback of the subcommittee, the firm would develop its final report. Subcommittee member Tom McCue said the city wants be proactive in looking at protecting the property for the future. Langlois said he would like to see tourists use hiking trails on the property without ruining the historic features especially the proximately 41 acres of the property is listed on the National Register of Historic places as the Mt.

way to get to a store to supply themselves. "We hope to start a bikes for tykes program to get bicycles out to kids in an affordable way. Bicycles can be donated; we’ll fix them and get them out to the community," said Ben. As to the name of the shop the owners said, "No, it’s not Porky pig! Porcupines used to be so common in the North Country that AMC’s famous hut manager, Joe Dodge called the area Porky Gulch. Many of the trails that we ride on are in that general area. Heather, Lincoln and Ben invite the public to join them on Friday, April 20, for a pre-opening Ballyhoo of Bikes starting at 2:30 p.m. We’ll be grilling hot dogs and veggie dogs and playing with bikes starting at 2:30 p.m. Bring your bike! They’ll also be giving away free Porky Gulch bike bottles. "On Saturday, we’ll keep the dogs coming and add some delicious baked goods from the White Mt. Café. Weather permitting; we’ll get out for a group ride in the afternoon at 2 p.m. We’ll ride over the rail trestle onto Brookfield Power Island to have a look at the area the Coos Cycling Club is proposing to be developed for biking trails. Bring your bike in for work, come have some free grub, or just drop by to say hi! Tell your friends, and remember…get on your bike," they said frey Taylor, a former city planner and a consultant who did the recent Berlin master plan, said there has to be a way and place to tell the history of the property. Manikian said the stewardship and management plan developed by the subcommittee would go to the planning board and city council for approval. Lawson and Severance agreed to send the subcommittee a formal proposal including a scope of work, timeline, and cost by the first of May. The subcommittee was originally formed to look at placing an easement on the property. But detailed mapping revealed there are already three levels of protection on the site – a 91-acre overlay zone established by the city, a 27-acre easement already established by the city, and the 41-acres on the National Register. The subcommittee then changed its focus to work on a management plan or user guide detailing the location of trails, maintenance plans, stewardship, and what can and can’t be done on the property. Last summer, students in the Berlin High JAG Program developed the first designated trail up the mountain under the supervision of the AMC. Before the trail, local people hiked to the summit using an informal trail system.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis to assess the motive behind it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not one to look back, and yet you can’t help thinking about what you almost had. Second chances abound as long as you realize what you missed out on and are willing to try again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like to see things well done, whether or not you’re the one doing them. Your moneymaking faculties will be put to good use as you gather up the opportunities that others miss. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll love the casual way in which you connect with those you’ve known for a long while. It’s easy and effortless, just the way you like it. Take this as a sign that these are the right people for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you name things will matter a great deal. Decide on a name that will make people wonder. Give others the gift of mystery, and they’ll give you the gift of curiosity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A certain successful person you know will be more than pleased to help you become successful, too. Asking in the right way will be key. You’ll be guided by the spirit of humility and realism. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19). You’ll have new faith in yourself this year. You’ll spend the next seven weeks nurturing your talents and developing a plan to bring them to the world. A family connection helps you in June. You’ll be building bonds with loved ones through many shared activities. Love blossoms when you’re able to focus exclusively on the other person. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 29, 24, 38 and 19.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Feeling in control of your time is a key element of happiness and one you’ll be grappling with today, as your loved ones need so much of your attention. Talk openly about your needs and expectations. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your instincts drive you toward instant gratification. It’s not your fault, but it is your challenge. A planning ritual will help you stay focused. What could you accomplish in order to feel productive and successful at day’s end? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll get the chance to compete, and you should seize this chance in the spirit of fun and new experience. Beating the other players is far less important than doing your best. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today you will do the same things you did yesterday, but with a new lightness of being. You’re not trying to win love and approval with your actions. You’re doing the things you do because it’s what you enjoy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to be right, but not at another person’s expense. Someone you love should have listened to you but didn’t. You’ll wisely resist saying “I told you so.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may not be completely in touch with what’s in your mind and heart, but your feet seem to know what’s going on. They take you out the door and straight to where you can get clarity and peace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People want to connect with you, and if they don’t have a good reason to do so, they may just invent one. Knowing this, weigh each request and suggestion. Try

EX-WIFE CAN’T TAKE MAN’S TRASH TALK ABOUT GIRLFRIEND

DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband likes to call to ask me for advice. Our most recent conversation was in regard to his girlfriend and her sexual past, which he knew about before they started dating. He now disapproves of her history and he began calling her unpleasant names. He tells me he deserves better but intends to stay with her until he gets bored. Hearing this sort of talk gives me a stomachache and heartburn. I feel terrible for the woman. I want to be a friend to my ex, but I’m not sure I can handle the stress it causes. He has had a hard life, and I didn’t make it any easier by divorcing him. Is the only solution not to take his calls, like my friends tell me? I’m not sure I can do that without major guilt. -- WISCONSIN READER DEAR READER: I’ll offer another option: The next time your ex starts asking you for relationship advice, tell him you don’t like hearing the way he talks about his girlfriend. Explain that it makes you so uncomfortable that you prefer to avoid the topic of his love life. If he respects your wishes, continue taking his calls. If not, because you find them upsetting, refuse them. And please, stop feeling guilty about the divorce. From your description of your former husband, he is a user, and you’re lucky to be rid of him. DEAR ABBY: I attend a church with about 350 worshippers. The church provides a supervised nursery for infants to 2 years of age. Most parents with babies use it. However, one couple has a 2-year-old child and a 2-month-old baby. These parents do not take advantage of the nursery, but keep the

kids in the sanctuary. Last Sunday the baby, who was in the father ’s arms, cried during most of the service. The parents may be able to tune it out, but many of us were very distracted by the wailing. The father is a schoolteacher. I couldn’t help but wonder how this teacher would handle a student who caused such a disruption in his classroom. I don’t think he would tolerate an hour of loud crying from anyone. Why don’t these people understand their behavior prevents others from worshipping as they would like? -- SILENCE, PLEASE DEAR SILENCE, PLEASE: That’s a good question, and one I recommend you pose to the person who was conducting the service. Out of consideration for the congregation, he or she should “remind” the parents that the nursery is available, and stress that in the future it be used to prevent the problem from recurring because the disruption caused “so many complaints.” DEAR ABBY: I was recently a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding. The bride gave all of us bridesmaids gifts after the reception. The bags were fancy and contained expensive gourmet chocolate candy. When I went to open mine, I noticed the box had already been unwrapped and half of it had been eaten. I didn’t say anything to the others or the bride because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings or seem ungrateful. What should I do? -- BRIDESMAID IN TENNESSEE DEAR BRIDESMAID: While it’s unfortunate, I see no reason to bring it up now. Expensive or not, it’s only a box of chocolates, and it appears someone may have bitten off more than they should chew.

he said the redesigned hotel should total about 206,000 square feet. The new space will include a conference center, spa, and pool house. The Dix House will be retained and there will be a 14-room tower added to the Hampshire House. The plans call for relocating Cold Spring Road and creating new parking. Herbert said he and co-owner Dan Dagesse expect to start construction July 1 and open for business 12 months later. Hebert asked if a demolition permit from the county is required. County Administrator and Board Clerk Sue Collins said county regulations do not address major demolition projects. The project will be required to undergo site plan review and file a building permit. Board Chair John Scarinza said the board will look lighting, parking, fire safety, and

the various building, electrical, and plumbing codes. He noted that when Ocean Properties came before the board with its proposal for the hotel, the board decided it would accept stamped architectural and engineering plans and a sign off from the state fire marshal’s office and not require an independent inspector. The board voted to follow that procedure this time. Hebert noted that he will hire his own fire engineer to review the plans because there is a huge backlog in the fire marshal’s office. Scarinza suggested the two owners keep Colebrook Fire Chief Brett Brooks advised of their plans and Hebert said he was scheduled to meet with Brooks and a representative of the fire marshal’s office. The board discussed sending a letter to Executive Councilor Raymond Burton and Gov. John Lynch urging that state agencies be made available

to avoid delaying the project. Prior to Hebert’s presentation, the board held preliminary subdivision consultations for both Balsams View LLC and CNL Income Bretton Woods LLC. Andrew Nadeau of Horizons Engineering represented both. Nadeau explained that the Balsams is seeking to divide parcels subject to a conservation easement sold to the Society for the Protection of N.H. Forest and contaminated areas. He said CNL is looking to separate parcels so their use is concurrent with boundaries lines. Collins said, however, the deed needs to be corrected before CNL can move ahead with a formal subdivision application. The board approved a building permit for Alan McLain who proposed to replace his existing camp in Wentworth Location with a new building that is larger than the old camp. Collins said the camp is in the section

of the unincorporated place known as ‘Little Berlin’. The lot is grandfathered because it does not meet setback requirements. Scarinza said the new camp would not be a problem if it fit on the existing footprint. He noted the county does not have a zoning board that could issue a variance. Collins said the board can waive its requirements. Asked about abutters, Collins said the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge borders the property on all sides. Board Vice Chair Fred King moved that the board waive the setback requirements and approve the building permit. The board approved his motion. The board ratified building permits to David Pike for an addition to his camp in Success and to Alan Pike for a garage in Success. Collins had approved the permits to allow the work to proceed subject to final approval by the board.

Turn Your Car into a Mean, Green Driving Machine

Driving technique and proper vehicle maintenance can go a long way toward protecting the environment and conserving fuel. The Car Care Council suggests five easy ways to turn your car into a mean, green driving machine – for your wallet and the environment. Drive Green – Recognize that how you drive has a lot to do with fuel economy. Avoid sudden starts and stops and go the speed limit. Jerky and aggressive driving decreases your miles per gallon (MPG) and increases wear and tear on your vehicle. Minimize unnecessary miles by combining errands in one trip. Check Tire Pressure – Each year, about two billion gallons of gas could be saved if the tires on every American’s car were properly inflated. Optimal tire

pressure for your vehicle is listed in the owner’s manual. Tires that are not properly inflated add rolling resistance that makes the engine work harder to move the vehicle. All of this increases fuel costs as much as three to five cents per gallon, and increases the risk of engine damage. Get a Tune-Up – Regular tune-ups, maintenance and having clean air filters will help your car pollute less and burn less gas. With a proper tune-up, you can save four percent on the cost of gas and up to 40 percent by replacing a faulty oxygen sensor. Simply changing the car’s air filter can improve efficiency by 10 percent. Lighten the Load – Get the junk out of the trunk and the stuff out of your car, with the exception of

emergency items such as a spare tire, flares and a first-aid kit. Extra items weigh the vehicle down and cause an increase in gas usage. Gas Caps and Fill-Ups – Check your vehicle’s gas cap. Loose, damaged or missing gas caps cause millions of gallons of gas to evaporate into the air every year. Topping off your gas tank when filling up your car can also release harmful vapors into the environment. “These five simple steps will help minimize the amount of pollutants from your vehicle and keep more ‘green’ in your wallet through better fuel economy,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Vehicle owners who do their own maintenance should remember to recycle or properly dispose of fluids and other vehicle components, including used motor oil, tires and batteries.” More information about environmental awareness is included in the popular digital Car Care Guide that can be easily accessed through the council’s newly-updated website at www.carcare. org.

Mr. Auto

Do I have to go to the dealer for my new car’s maintenance? True or false: Until your vehicle is out-of-warranty, all maintenance services 1) Just be done at the car dearlership or your factory warranty will be void. Although you may have answered “true”, the correct answer is “false”, according to the Car Care Council. It’s the law that independent repair shops can provide the services to maintain your new car warranty. “It’s a common misconception that only care dealers can perform the maintenance services on a newer vehicles that is under warranty,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Clearly, consumers can have maintenance services done by their local independent service shop without affecting your warranty, even though dealers and manufacturers often suggest the opposite.

Second tip: Don't forget the wax option. Waxing helps maintain your vehicles paint job and prevents damage such as scratches, rust or oxidation. Third tip: Don't forget the inside.
